  • GFI offered $2.52/share, cash, plus a variable cash component of ~A$0.88 (now worth ~A$0.77/share) via GOR’s indirect stake in Northern Star Resources (NST AU). This includes any fully franked dividend.

  • The Gold Road Resources (GOR AU) IE considers Gold Fields Ltd (GFI SJ)’s offer fair and reasonable. The offer is A$2.52 cash + value per share of GOR’s NST stake.
  • The key condition is GOR shareholder approval. The scheme vote should pass partly due to the benign shareholder structure.  
  • The offer is attractive. At the last close and for a 13 October payment, the gross/annualised spread is 1.2%/8.1%.
